Prostitution? Gambling.
Exotic dancing? Fraud.
Dealing street drugs? Gambling.
Marketing pharmaceuticals? Fraud.
What about selling weapons?
Fraud - absurd markups and cheating vassals.
If we’re talking about the MIC, fraud
Believe it or not, gambling.
Except when it’s fraud.
Well, fraud under Don Tzupid. Or just evil.
And when it comes to actual material productive industries, I always say we have two: killing people and burning oil.
Automobiles? Burning oil
Aviation? Mostly military planes, so both
Polymers and petrochemicals? Burning oil
Weapons manufacturing? Killing people
Construction? Ultimately, since the roads and bridges are all car-focused, burning oil.
Steel? Seems good at first, but it’s ultimately going to be turned into a car (burning oil) or a weapon (killing people).
The cherry on top is that, because of climate change, all of the “burning oil” bits are also secretly killing people.
Burning oil is just the kickflip-onto-rakes version of killing people.
Gnarly
Car would also counts as killing people, particularly the oversize monstrosities produced in the US.
Most video games aren’t gambling …
i think the meme creator was probably talking about the prevalence of lootboxes and skin gambling with that
The games that generate the most profit are.
The rest are art.
Arguably it is, just not in the conventional way. As a player, you’re spending your time (and money to buy the game) with the hope of winning some dopamine from it. As a developer/studio, you’re gambling time and money to devrlop a game in the hopes that it does well and makes the money back
Lmao that is not what anyone means when they say gambling and you know it.
By that metric, any business endeavor is gambling.
Unless its fraud
I think that’s the joke
By that logic, all entertainment is gambling. Petting a cat is gambling. Hiking is gambling. You’re gambling by replying in this thread.
It’s about loot boxes and the like
